because you've got, of course, governor christie out there just praising president obama. there haven't been major complaints of resources not getting there. it is all surrounds around the power. the approval rating of the president right now is the country thinks he's doing a good job with sandy. will this play in the election? >> sure, it goes to the whole question of the character and quality of presidential leadership. romney found that out in the second debate when he went after the president on libya, got slapped down, got corrected by candy crowley, and the president has a big advantage there. the question is deeper. the question is is this guy up to the crises we face as a nation? we saw barack obama in last week respond in exactly the way americans want him to respond, and who would have thought that chris christie would be the october surprise? that this guy would -- >> october political surprise. >> yeah. he would be the october political surprise, that he would stand up and it's true, and say the president has been incredible, he's been on the phone every time

that's what this president is going to be doing with governor christie. you go there and look presidential and try to speak for the country. it's not just at this event. any time current events have injected themselves into this election, governor romney has stumbled. he did it with the libya attacks. he wants the election to play itself out. rather than seeing this as a moment he can step up on stage and say this is the kind of leader i will be. >> is this a time where political sins can be forgiven? i mean you see chris christie and president obama working back and forth, the public sees this. this is really the way it's supposed to be, isn't it? >> it's not a moment for punishment or the accounting of past grievances. this is about practicalities and the extraordinary thing, we can set aside what's going to happen on the ground as important as it is. this president has denied any claim of bipartisanship for the last three or four years. that's the intentional policy of republicans. through mitch mcconnell on health care and here you have one of the mos
